Chapter 1279 A Misunderstanding
"Why are you here?" Colton looked at the report in Nicole's hand and frowned. The words "two months" stuck out
like a sore thumb.
Nicole looked up and saw the man she had been thinking day and night about. "I…" She parted her lips but could
not speak out the words in her heart. Slowly bowing her head, she did not dare to tell him about that matter. Even
though she knew he would not blame her, she would still feel awkward if they reconciled. Things could not return to
how they were in the past.
Once Colton was sure it was Nicole, his eyes fell on the report in Nicole's hand. Two months? If that was his child in
Nicole's belly, it would be more than five months, so how could she be only two months pregnant?
Suddenly, Nicole felt Colton's aura seem strange because the atmosphere beside him seemed to have dropped.

into her bag. She was thinking about something else and forgot about this important matter.
Zachary's face appeared in Colton's mind, followed by the scene of the day Nicole mentioned getting a divorce.
Colton sneered as he thought, So, that's how it is. She's even willing to kill our child so that she can have Zachary's
child.
"Nicole, tell me. Is that Zachary's child?" Colton refused to believe his guess and asked sternly.
Nicole realized Colton had misunderstood the situation. She pursed her lips and was about to speak up when he cut
her off. "Alright, I understand. You don't have to say anything. It's my fault for still thinking the best about you."
Colton closed his eyes in despair and left without giving her a chance to explain.
Nicole's eyes were brimming with tears. She did not want things to end with Colton, so she decided she had to
explain everything to him. The matters between them had to be clarified.
"Colton, hear me out! It's not what you think. Actually—"
When Nicole finally maneuvered through the crowd and found Colton, she saw him with a slim, young woman.
Then, Colton gave the woman an intimate hug.
Since the woman had her back to Nicole, Nicole could not see who it was, but it did not matter because the woman
in Colton's arms was not her. Nicole was rendered frozen in the spot, at a loss for what to do.
"Colton, who's that sick woman? She was calling your name just now." The woman giggled while gently hitting
Colton's chest with her fist. While speaking, the woman hooked her lips and smiled mockingly at Nicole as if she
were looking at a clown.
Colton, who had been playing with the woman's fingers, suddenly stiffened after listening to her words. Sick
woman? Has she been ill? But Nicole has always been healthy, so how could she have fallen ill? Moreover, the
medical base is so advanced. How could they stand and watch Nicole fall ill?

"Colton? What's the matter?" The woman sensed something wrong with Colton and urged, "Colton, stop ignoring
me."
Meanwhile, Nicole stood quietly opposite them, watching her past lover being affectionate with another woman.
After smiling self-deprecatingly, Colton put on an evil smile and hugged the woman's waist, roughly pulling her into
his arms. Both released a very ambiguous groan, and he replied, "Why would I ignore you? I wouldn't ignore you for
anyone, my little darling."
He thought that it had to be because she had aborted her previous child. If that's the case, what does it have to do
with me? Why should I care about Nicole? She should be Zachary's concern.
Nicole's slightly pale face was now even paler.
At the same time, the woman was somewhat surprised. Colton had never touched her since she started being by
his side. Honestly, her actions were just her way of testing him. She did not expect he would actually initiate such
intimate actions. Things were not how she expected them to be, but she liked it.
